Prospero Extended Pascal is a 32-bit Pascal development system for OS/2 developed in 1993 by Prospero Software Ltd.

A development environment for ISO 10206:1991 Pascal with object oriented extensions, sometimes known as Extended Pascal to differentiate it from ISO 7185 Pascal (ETH P4) which is sometimes referred to as Standard Pascal.

The company later ported the package to DOS and 32-bit Microsoft Windows. The DOS and OS/2 versions could also develop programs for 16-bit Windows with an optional library and linker package. Sales of all versions have been dropped but the company offers the 32-bit Windows version as a free download.
